Sketch of the Week

Iris aren't the only flowers in bloom right now. The cactus I keep outside my apartment recently erupted into a lovely display of bright orange flowers (far brighter than what my sketch suggests here, but that's what you get for using cheap acrylics for sketching).

My parents bought me this cactus as a housewarming gift when they helped me move to Roswell last July. The person at the nursery advised me to do nothing with the plant in terms of watering and other care, so I've ignored the cactus ever since. Apparently it does prefer to be left alone, for as the flowers indicate, it's doing quite well.

Last January we kicked off the new year with a photography show that examinedthe New Mexico cultural landscape, New Mexico Vernacular: Architectural Portraits by Robert Christensen. This year, we're also with photography: Power: New Works by David Emitt Adams. Both photographers explore overlooked but critical elements of our cultural landscape, but their focus and approach is decidedly different.Whereas Christensenhighlights the gas stations, grocery stores, and other seemingly mundane structures that define everyday life,Arizona-based photographer David Emitt Adamsexplores the fuel that powers that life:oil.

Today we'll going to begin looking at a family of etchers that will take us through the end of the year: the Morans. Originally from England, the Morans came to the United States during the mid-nineteenth century, when industrialization essentially put an end to their livelihood as hand loomers. Several of the siblings achieved artistic success, usually within the genre of landscape, but the best known of this group is the artist we'll be discussing today, Thomas Moran (1837-1926).

Moran started out his artistic career apprenticing to Scattergood and Telfer, a wood engraving firm. During the 19th century, before photography had sufficiently evolved to become economically feasible, wood engraving was the most commonly used form of image reproduction. It provided the precision and detail of traditional metal engraving, but the use of wooden blocks made it a lot cheaper. Moran admittedly wasn't a fan of the process though, as engraving can be very time-consuming and repetitiv…

Today we'll be looking one of the 20th century's seminal etchers, Stanley William Hayter (1901-1988).

Originally from London, Hayter started out his career in the oil industry after earning his degrees in chemistry and geology. From 1922 to 1925, he worked for the Anglo-Persian Oil Company in Iran, until a bout with malaria forced him to return home. During this time of convalescence, he had a successful one-man show of his paintings and drawings, which may have inspired him to pursue a more artistic calling. Although he soon switched over to art, his chemical background would undoubtedly influence his later printmaking.

In 1926, Hayter went to study at the Academie Julian in Paris, and opened his own printmaking atelier, Atelier 17, in 1927. It was also during this time that he was introduced to Surrealism, particularly as interpreted by artists such as Yves Tanguy and Andre Masson. Their aesthetic would have a great impact on Hayter's own art. During the 1930s in parti…
